TMPO and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Both TMPO-AS1 (TMPO antisense transcript 1) lncRNA and TMPO (thymopoietin) mRNA were overexpressed in NSCLC cell lines and tissues and promoted cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells, demonstrating the oncogenic function of TMPO-AS1 and TMPO [138].
